I do agree with Alentejo and Algarve that the SC Community, isn't really open to listening to criticism, satirical or otherwise from communities outside of itself despite their soul job being to offer criticism or praise to every other community in the game. So I understand your frustration Alentejo.

The ones in that thread yes, but several people have spoken out here if you would have read about how this has hurt the chance in many of their eyes of Commending Portugal being passed in any forum at least two people made it fairly obvious, but I understand you might have missed those statements. ^-^

This is a massive grammatical mess, so I have no idea what you're saying.

To put is plainly, again I admit I'm not a great writer, some of the comments have gone beyond the focus of criticizing this a "self C&C"Bormiar wrote:If you want any chance at ever getting anything you want in the SC, you need to stop mocking it.

Here is a statement from Bormiar saying if you criticize or poke fun at the SC it makes it harder for any proposal to pass, and that openly doing so can make things worse for a proposal. Emphasis mine.
Here you attack the author's competency, backhandedly, simply because he tried to defend himself in the Commend Portugal thread, and criticized relatively politely compared to many others including myselfHoneydewistania wrote: However if you can’t find a single competent author to make this case and resort to doing the task yourself, that tells me you probably aren’t very commendable.
All while, taking too seriously a joke a proposal here, while you actually have one in the forums self described as a "Shitpost"
and hereSodoran Alesia wrote:Lol and this is how you guarantee your region will never get commended
the mention of never at least to me suggest that this joke proposal will in fact have a lasting impact on any future Commend Portugal proposals.
You, Honeydew ,consistently go on the defensive when any criticism is lobbed even remotely in your direct as you just proved, by once again coming after me. I was simply sharing an opinion suggesting that this could have been a fun satirical post, but was ruined by the OP's attitude while also suggesting that the SC should be more open to criticism or if it suits you needs to revist how it approaches those who criticize it, and needs to admit that politics, personal or otherwise, plays a role in the SC commends and condemns and it's not just merit based alone, It might actually help people trying to break in temper their language and proposal drafts.
So I really don't enjoy you're fairly constant remarks outwards me especially considering that I've tried an effort to be civil and play nicely, admitting to past mistakes. So if you want to talk this out via TG bury the hatchet I'm more than willing to, TG me, so that actual conversations (and not one sided snide attacks) can happen in this forum and so we can't get back on topic.

I feel like this is one of the reasons why people are so hostile towards SC at the drop of a hat. I feel like as a group that is so focused on language and context, the SC authors often leave that consideration out of their replies, not all of course (I think Refuge is a good example of carefully wording their statements towards new folks. They almost always comes off as constructive and not destructive), but plenty. Reading those stament how I did gives me some empathy towards Alentejo's reaction. Now it's not an excuse nor a valid reason, but it does offer some semblance of understanding towards his motivations.
Maybe instead of attacking everyone who gets defensive when we attempt to offer criticism we, as a group, need to re-evaluate how we offer or word that criticism, myself included?

The World Assembly,
SHOCKED, SHOCKED, that Alentejo and Algarve foreign ministry sometimes uses a little humour in its proposals.
AFFIRMING that the WA is a serious place where serious people discuss serious issues and where all humour must be verboten!
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED that the nation of Alentejo and Algarve tried to self-commend its own region.
DECLARING that diversity and joy are to be avoided in these halls of professional government at all costs.
HEREBY decides to condemn this nation of scoundrels, this hive of scum and villainy, called Alentejo and Algarve!
Shame! Shame!

Greetings, Delegate. I am Tinhampton, a three-time Security Council author, and I write to request your approval of Alentejozinho and Algarvezinho's proposal to Condemn Alentejo and Algarve for attempting to self-Commend a region they hold the WA Delegacy of. The proposal in question needs just ten more approvals in the next ten hours to reach the voting floor - and yours could be one of them!
